One device that he may unveil is the LG Nexus which, over the past few days, has leaked out numerous times for the world to see, all but spoiling the surprise for Google and LG. And today’s leak is no different. In fact, the owner of the prototype is taking questions from readers and has all but confirmed the specifications of the upcoming Nexus made by LG.

Here is what he or she says will come on board the LG Nexus:

CPU: core quad ARMv7 1.5GHz<

RAM: 2 GB

Memory: 8GB (and I haven’t found SD slot)

GPU: Adreno 320

Android version: JellyBeanMR1

Kernel 3.4.0

Screen: 768×1184 (320 dpi)

Camera: 8 MPx

All of these were rumored previously but now that they have been revealed by someone with the actual device, we can assume that they will be arriving with the device when it hits shelves.

There are three key confirmations here. One, 8GB of storage space, which is insanely low for a smartphone. Two, no microSD card slot, something that is prevalent in Nexus-branded devices. Three, the device runs Jelly Bean and not Key Lime Pie or some other iteration of Android.

What this means is that LG and Google will likely be able to keep the cost of the LG Nexus down which should attract those that want some high-end specifications, vanilla Android, and a cheap price tag.

On the flip side, the LG Nexus will be stuck with very little memory, unless of course there is a 16GB model, which we hope there will be.

HTC, Samsung and Sony are also rumored to be producing Nexus smartphones and we should found out if they will be joining LG later on this month.

wtf is google thinking with this crap? 8 GB pretty much means max 6GB after system files and without an SD slot, it is worthless. Not to mention the phone looks exactly the same as the old nexus and I was relaly hoping they would do away with the giant bezel.
